    Capture The Flag

    Capture the Flag available for those that want to challenge it. We will have a couple of systems that are available for anyone that is CTF curious and wants to try to solve a puzzle or two or bring along a computing device and try to tackle them all. Participants of the CTF will be entered to win a door prize.

    We will also be playing an interactive game of Backdoors and Breaches. If you haven’t heard of this before it is sort of like if Dungeons and Dragons meet cybersecurity incident response. Should be fun.
